    Dear team,
    I want to know that for using optimize variable we need energy load shape importing from excel ,without it optimization wont work.But for Pakistan load curve is available rather than load duration curve.Is there any solution to this problem?
    thanks in advance

    Hi Hafsa -

    You can derive the load shape (where each value is expressed as a percentage of annual energy requirements, as required by LEAP's optimization routines) from Pakistan's system load curve. Once you choose time slices for your model, calculate the total energy demanded in each of those time slices, and express is as a percentage of the annual energy requirements.

    Best,
